§2067 Exemption of exports

Summary

Lets many consumer products made, sold, or kept for export be exempt from these consumer safety rules if they are meant to leave the United States and are labeled as for export. The exemption does not apply if the product is actually sold for use in the United States or if the Commission finds the export would pose an unreasonable risk to U.S. consumers. The rules do apply to products made or sold for shipment to U.S. installations that are located outside the United States. If someone wants to export a product that does not meet a safety rule, they must tell the Commission at least 30 days before shipping. The notice must give shipment date, destination country and port, quantity, and any other information the Commission asks for. The Commission will tell the foreign government. For good cause the Commission can allow a later notice, but never later than the 10th day before shipping. The Commission can block exports of non‑conforming products unless the importing country tells the Commission it will accept them; if the importing country does not reply within 30 days, the Commission may act about what to do with the shipment. Finally, this exemption does not apply when the Secretary of the Treasury has specifically allowed the export under the related law.
